Edd was clear in his communications before and after the car inspection. He was happy to take the time to make sure all my questions were answered properly. With regards to the actual inspection, seemed thorough and highlighted some small issues that I wouldn't have thought about and photos helped. Overall happy with the report and work done and happy to recommend to others.

Edward Hunt was very good. It is my first car hence had lots of queries. He listened patiently and answered each one in detail. He advised how to best take care of the car and to note when it is in service garage. I will definitely recommend Ed.

I was very happy with the inspection Edward carried out, he unearthed a fault with a car that I was potentially going to buy the fault he discovered was only due to him being so thorough.
First time booking a pre purchase inspection but very happy with the service I have received.

I would like to thank Edward for the inspection he carried out for me, very nice guy and know his stuff, the information he gave me was amazing, his report was spot on an on this occasion I did not buy the vehicle, as there were a few points I was not happy with and Edward has probably saved me more money in the long run. 5 stars from me
